🌸 March 23rd, SF distancing day seven. Had a nice afternoon run to the Conservatory of Flowers and back. The flowers in the gardens out front were in full bloom. One week of sheltering in place.

🌁⛰🏙📰 March 21st, SF distancing day five. Ran up to Twin Peaks, North Peak, and South Peak for a clear view of Sutro tower, Mount Tam, the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown San Francisco, East Bay hills, and tiny container ships & the Grand Princess still idling on the bay(1).
There’s a third mini peak south of the two official Twin Peaks, with a beautiful field of poppies(2). At the time I’d stopped to admire the poppies on the inside of the hairpin turn up to Twin Peaks(tantek.com/t55h1). Afterwards a post-run stop at Haight Street Market for a coffee.
The day’s weekend Wall Street Journal had a photo of a nearly empty Times Square, a scene previously only imagined in disaster movies (and Vanilla Sky). The headline article described how 1 in 5 Americans were now under orders to limit their outside activity(3).

March 19th, SF distancing day three. First run since my 50-miler. I had rested my legs, only brief walks for a few days, then longer walks, up & down hills. When that felt completely fine, I decided to try an easy run. First up to Buena Vista Park where the poppies were in full bloom(1), then over to Corona Heights Park, where the clean air provided very clear views of downtown San Francisco, and across the bay to Oakland too(2)!
Finished my run with a coffee from Haight Street Market, where they had just changed store hours to close earlier for sanitizing, and limited the first hour of opening to those 60+ years old and Instacart workers(3).
Scanning the newspapers while waiting for my coffee, the day’s headlines captured some of the concerns & fears(4,5,6).
As a visual palate cleanser after those headlines, here’s my almond latte in a paper cup(7), since they stopped serving in reusable cups two days ago (tantek.com/t5661).

🌼🌱🐝🦋 #100DoPP d59: Pollen & pollinators. Apropos #springtime member docent tour @calacademy. #latergram #nofilter
Rooftop staff tour behind the gates, staff entomology collection on level 2B, rainforest side entrance to see the butterflies who are attracted to orange, enough to try drinking from my @sciencehackday tshirt. Or they were just thirsty for #science. 😉
